The proposal from Green Light Acquisitions would make growing, processing, possessing, selling and using marijuana legal. The measure was announced by Jimmy Gould, CEO of CannAscend, whose grower’s proposal was rejected by the Ohio Department of Commerce last month. Gould said the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol amendment will be on the ballot next fall. The amendment also would legalize the growing of hemp. “We will put together the best amendment that we think will pass and does the most good for Ohioans,” Gould said.

Alabama voters are deciding between Republican Roy Moore, former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court; and Democrat Doug Jones. Jones wins in stunning Alabama upset By Kim Chandler and Steve Peoples Associated Press MONTGOMERY, Ala. — In a stunning victory aided by scandal, Democrat Doug Jones won Alabama’s special Senate election on Tuesday, beating back history, an embattled Republican opponent and President Donald Trump, who urgently endorsed GOP rebel Roy Moore despite a litany of sexual misconduct allegations. It was the ﬁrst Democratic Senate victory in a quarter-century in Alabama, one of the reddest of red states, and proved anew that party loyalty is anything but sure in the age of Trump. It was a major embarrassment for the president and a fresh wound for the nation’s already divided Republican Party. The victory by Jones, a former U.S. attorney best known for prosecuting two Ku Klux Klansmen responsible for Birmingham’s infamous 1963 church Record From page 1 arrival, one of the parties involved had left and the other half refused to cooperate.

That imperils alreadyuncertain Republican tax, budget and health proposals and injects tremendous energy into the Democratic Party’s early push to reclaim House and Senate majorities in 2018. Still, many Washington Republicans viewed the defeat of Moore as perhaps the best outcome for the party nationally despite the short-term sting. The ﬁery Christian conservative’s positions have alienated women, racial minorities, gays and Muslims — in addition to the multiple allegations that he was guilty of sexual misconduct with teens, one only 14, when he was in his 30s. A number of Republicans declined to support him, including Alabama’s long-serving Sen. Richard Shelby. But Trump lent his name and the national GOP’s resources to Moore’s campaign in recent days.

Jeremiah Comer Patient CENTER FOR Arthritis&JointRehabilitation at Pleasant Valley Hospital 304-675-2781 | pvalley.org OH-70002286 �E ditorial 4 Wednesday, December 13, 2017 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Sandy Hook police chief: From grief, doing good Five years ago, on Dec. 14, 2012, I entered the Sandy Hook Elementary School and witnessed a scene of chaos and death that I had never imagined. The all-too-quaint, closely knit and pastoral community of Michael Newtown was forever dramatically Kehoe Contributing changed. Unfortunately, I am frequently columnist reminded of that day. Each new active-shooter incident brings back the memory of those 26 shocking deaths in Sandy Hook School. Of the 20 children killed, four were 7-year-olds and the rest were 6 — all innocent and full of hopes and dreams. Six of the dead were brave and courageous educators trying to do whatever they could to quell the mayhem that began sometime after 9:30 am. My thoughts are always with the victims’ families, who suffered the most on that day and the very painful days thereafter. The impact on the families who lost loved ones in a hail of bullets has always been my priority and will continue to be in my thoughts until the day I leave this earth. Before the shootings, I always felt that schools, hospitals and houses of worship were the institutions most safe from the violence that permeates our communities. As we all know too well now, they are not secure places of peace and tranquility anymore. This has become the phenomenal work of the family members left behind. Their unyielding energy and poise comfort me and the many communities they reach with important messages of reducing gun violence, eliminating bullying, enhancing mental health services and common sense gun legislation. The admirable determination of the victims’ families to turn unfathomable tragedy into good must be honored. The families’ focus and messages inspire me and many others. These societal issues are complex, multifaceted and without simple solutions. The families’ emphasis and outspokenness on these important questions are aimed at making the future for the next generation of elementary school children bright and positive. We need to redirect energy and efforts to those areas that need speciﬁc and afﬁrmative action, especially after experiencing a horriﬁc event. Since Dec. 14, 2012, I have often thought I could be a voice for improvement, advancement and enhancement. I wondered what the future held for me and where I could make improvements to beneﬁt others. Mental wellness and health became my main focus and motivation, of course stimulated by those 26 families. This led to my collaboration with the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the U.S. Department of Justice’sOfﬁce of Community Oriented Policing Services and many talented professionals who have dealt with tragic events like Sandy Hook. We developed a guidebook, “Preparing for the Unimaginable,” speciﬁcally for ﬁrst responders should another tragedy befall their community. Unfortunately, vivid scenes of carnage, mayhem and grief have continued to plague our country since the Sandy Hook shootings. Orlando, Fla., Las Vegas and Sutherland Springs, Texas, are a few of the communities that have dealt with the heartache and pain of a mass casualty event like Newtown’s. Most police ofﬁcers will not have to handle a traumatic event like the one I experienced. They will respond, however, to routine emergencies that by their nature are unforeseeable, potentially dangerous situations. Regardless of the circumstances, police, ﬁre and emergency medical services must take immediate decisive action to mitigate loss of life, loss of property, injuries and immeasurable psychological damage. Police responders answer many calls, which, cumulatively, over time will be the equivalent of or exceed just one tragic event. Their health and wellness are no less important. First-responder mental wellness is just starting to gain signiﬁcant traction within the law enforcement community. As my profession started to closely evaluate the safety of those who keep others safe, a startling fact emerged. More police ofﬁcers today have their lives ended at their own hand than from an assault on the job. I knew this instinctively, as did many other police leaders. Here, the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association recognized the void and committed to placing as much emphasis on mental health as it does on bulletproof vests and other protective measures, equipment and policies to keep ofﬁcers safe. It was the ﬁrst police chiefs association in America to do so and teaches police ﬁrst responders important lessons and skills to help maintain a positive mental attitude at work and in their private lives. On Dec. 14, let us honor those who have died tragically, their families and the many ﬁrst responders. They deserve your concerted effort to make every aspect of living safe and to keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Michael Kehoe, since retired, was the Newtown police chief on Dec. 14, 2012, when the shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School occurred. He wrote this for the Hartford Courant. THEIR VIEW Why California burns Large, high-intensity wildﬁres are an inevitable and natural part of life in California. The Richard destruction Halsey Contributing of our communities columnist is not. But many of the political leaders we elect and planning agencies we depend upon to create safe communities have failed us. They have allowed developers to build in harm’s way, and left ﬁreﬁghters holding the bag. The ﬁres raging in Los Angeles County and Ventura are an urgent signal that we need to start asking the hard questions — about the true cost of expanding the local tax base with new residences in high ﬁre hazard zones. We need to stop having the same conversation over and over again, a conversation laced with non-sequiturs and focused on outdated, ineffective solutions. The devastating loss of life, the destruction of so many family homes, and the dangers faced by those who protect us demand nothing less. Some blame the current rash of wildﬁres on dead trees in forests — even if those ﬁres are nowhere near a forest, or dead trees. (Members of Congress seem to have bought this explanation and they’re now pushing a bill sponsored by Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) that would encourage more logging in the West.) Some blame climate change, claiming, for example, that rising temperatures are responsible for the devastating Tubbs ﬁre in Santa Rosa in October — despite the fact that a bigger and just as ﬁerce ﬁre burned much of the same area in 1964. (Climate change is making our ﬁre seasons worse, but it isn’t responsible for every big ﬁre.) Yet others blame ﬁreﬁghters for creating dense stands of chaparral in ﬁre suppression efforts — when that’s the only way chaparral naturally grows, dense and impenetrable. The standard procedure to reduce wildﬁre risk is to clear habitat. We have spent millions of dollars doing this for nearly a century. Nevertheless, our homes keep burning. That’s because while vegetation management such as fuel breaks and prescribed burns can help during nonextreme ﬁre events, they do little to suppress extreme events. But if anyone questions vegetation management in the backcountry, the typical response is that the projects will work as designed for 90th percentile weather conditions. That’s absurd. Imagine if we designed buildings to withstand only 95th percentile earthquake movements, or what you would feel as a result of a magnitude 2.5. We need to protect communities from ﬁres that actually do the damage. How do we do this? As University of Colorado geographer Gregory Simon has observed, since we are choosing to spread cities farther and farther out into wildland areas, we need to recognize that ﬁre disasters aren’t natural, they’re social. And they require social solutions. Planning agencies need to push back against pro-development forces in government, whose willingness to build in known ﬁre corridors borders on criminal neglect. The recent devastation of the community of Fountaingrove in Santa Rosa, for example, was both horrible and predictable. (The area has now burned twice in 53 years.) Local leaders need to restrict development in such areas. In the smaller picture, local governments need to impose strict ﬁre codes in new communities throughout California, require older communities to retroﬁt their properties, and enforce proper defensible space regulations. That means 100 feet of thinned vegetation, not bare ground. Hundreds of feet of bare ground make a home the target for wind-driven embers. Such policies would cost signiﬁcantly less than the $9.4 billion wildﬁre-related claims submitted statewide as of Friday. We also need to examine the best practices of other ﬁre-prone regions. Communities in Australia often install external, under-eave/ rooftop sprinklers, which have proven quite effective in protecting structures during wildﬁres. (Australians understand that wet homes do not ignite.) Such systems should be standard in all new developments in high ﬁre hazard zones. It is likely they would have protected many of the homes consumed in Ventura’s Thomas ﬁre this week. Agencies like Cal Fire need to begin addressing the question, “How do we protect lives and property?” rather than “How can we stop a wildﬁre?” Right now, Cal Fire is focused on the latter, with its misguided Vegetation Treatment Program. A focus on the former would mean at least noting land-use problems in planning documents. It would mean spending as much time and money on helping people retroﬁt homes as on vegetation treatments. Communities including Idyllwild and Big Bear have taken advantage of FEMA predisaster grants to replace ﬂammable rooﬁng and install ember-resistant vents. Such long-term solutions, unlike fuel breaks, do not require costly maintenance. Trees, shrubs, grasses or homes will all provide the necessary fuel for a wildﬁre. It’s part of California’s story. As we do with earthquakes and ﬂoods, our goal should be to reduce the damage when wildﬁres arrive, not pretend we can prevent them from happening at all. That mindset starts at the planning department, not the ﬁre station. Richard Halsey is the director of the California Chaparral Institute.

Meigs also held advantages of 16-to-8 in assists, 13-to4 in steals and 6-to-3 in blocked shots. “We just have to be more aggressive,” Kasun said. “With our size, we’re going to give up a lot of rebounds. We try to make up for it in transition, getting easier shots and maybe getting some rebounds that way. It was a solid game all around. It’s nice to see some of our players starting to hit some shots. That’s one thing we’ve struggled with, but we had a balanced night tonight.” Eight players marked in the scoring column for MHS, led by juniors Marissa Noble and Madison Fields with 13 points apiece.

In a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division tilt on Monday in Meigs County, the Southern girls basketball team dropped a 40-37 decision to visiting Trimble, which made 20-of-41 free throws, including 7-of-18 in the fourth quarter. The Lady Tomcats (1-4, 1-2 TVC Hocking) started fast, outscoring Southern (0-4, 0-3) by a 13-to-3 clip on the strength of three trifectas in the opening quarter. The Lady Tornadoes cut their deﬁcit to just four points, at 20-16, by halftime, scoring 13 points on six ﬁeld goals and one free throw, while holding THS to just seven points in the second quarter. The Purple and Gold took a 32-31 lead into the fourth quarter, with SHS senior Lauren Lavender scoring 14 of the team’s 16 third quarter points. THS was held to just one ﬁeld goal in the third, but made 11-of-12 free throws to stay in the game. Southern — which had four players, including three starters, foul out of the contest — went without a ﬁeld goal over the ﬁnal eight minutes and made just 5-of-10 free throws in that span. Trimble scored nine points in the fourth period and escaped Racine with a 40-37 victory. The Lady Tornadoes were led by Lavender, who made the team’s lone three-pointer and posted 24 points before fouling out. Shelbi Dailey scored four points in the setback, Phoenix Cleland added three, while Bailee Floyd, Jaiden Roberts and Paige VanMeter ﬁnished with two points apiece. For the game, Southern was 10-of-16 (62.5 percent) from the free throw line. Sydney Hardy led the guests with 16 points, followed by Kaitlyn Spears with 12 and Kym Williams with seven. Hardy, Spears and Williams each sank one trifecta in the victory. Breanna Brammer scored four points for THS, while Skylar Moore rounded out the team total with one marker. The Lady Tornadoes will try to avenge this setback on Jan. 22 in Glouster. Southern returns to the court on Thursday at Wahama. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100. Point 2nd at Eades tourney By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Three points made all the difference. The Point Pleasant wrestling team came away with runner-up honors at the 12th annual Jason Eades Memorial Duals held Friday and Saturday at Point Pleasant Junior-Senior High School in Mason County. The Big Blacks — the defending champions of their own tournament — ﬁnished 7-1 overall during the two-day event, with the lone loss coming to eventualchampion Greenbrier East by a narrow 36-33 margin. George Washington was third overall, while Cabell Midland and Musselman rounded out the top ﬁve spots in the ﬁnal team standings. Point Pleasant cruised through the opening day of matches after posting wins over Shady Spring (70-3), Grafton (66-13), Lincoln County (69-9) and Nicholas County (75-6), then the hosts notched a 78-6 decision over Calhoun County. Greenbrier East — who ﬁnished second last year at the Eades tournament after dropping the ﬁnal head-to-head match to PPHS — exacted a little revenge this winter with its three-point victory, the same margin that the Spartans lost by a year ago.

A day after dropping to 0-13 for the second straight season and 1-28 in his two years coaching the Browns, Jackson said he doesn’t believe a report that new Cleveland general manager John Dorsey wants to hire his own coach. “That is not the feeling that I get at all,” Jackson told reporters on a conference call Monday. “I’m focused on the task at hand, which is doing everything I can to work to win games here. I can’t really concern myself with those things, but I can honestly tell all of you, I don’t think that is the case at all.” Dorsey, who had a successful four-year run as Kansas City’s GM, was hired last week by Browns owner Jimmy Haslam to turn around his moribund franchise. While he ﬁred vice president of football operations Sashi Brown, Haslam announced Jackson would return in 2018 despite the team’s struggles. However, Haslam’s backing of Jackson has been questioned in some NFL circles, leading to speculation that a change could be coming at the end of the season. Jackson won’t doubt his boss. “You have to trust in what he said,” Jackson said. “I know I do. I don’t see it any other way, personally, myself. I think what he said is what he meant. That is what I believe and that is what I know.” With their 27-21 overtime loss to Green Bay on Sunday, the Browns, who blew a 14-point lead in the second half, became the ﬁrst team in league history to go 0-13 in consecutive seasons. The loss stung in so many ways, mostly because the Browns were David Richard | AP Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson answers questions during a news conference after a game Sunday in Cleveland. Jackson is confident owner Jimmy Haslam will stick to his plan and bring him back next season. Jackson, who is 0-13 this season and 1-28 in two years with Cleveland, laughed on Monday when asked about a report that new general manager John Dorsey wants to hire his own coach. Dorsey was named the club’s new GM last week by Haslam, who fired vice president of football operations Sashi Brown. seconds away from their ﬁrst win before giving up a 65-yard punt return that led to Green Bay’s tying touchdown with 17 seconds left in regulation. It was Dorsey’s ﬁrst opportunity to see what kind of team he’s inherited, and the long-time executive and former linebacker spent time in the locker room after the game talking to players. Dorsey sat down with rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer, who threw an interception in OT to set up Green Bay’s winning TD. Browns linebacker Christian Kirksey said Dorsey has quickly made an impression on the team. “He’s ready to get out there and put this team in the best position to win,” Kirksey said. “He knows a lot about football. He’s a football guy. He has seen a lot. He knows a lot. He’s just telling us that now is the time to start winning, put it all together, getting the right guys out there and just playing ball.” On Monday, Dorsey met with Jackson, who said their dissection of the loss was unlike his session with Brown. “It was much different,” Jackson said. “We got together early and really talked through the game and just continued to dialogue on what we need to continue to do better to get the team better and how we see the football team. It was a real backand-forth conversation, which was really good.” Dorsey’s work has just begun, but before he can start considering what he may do with two ﬁrstround draft picks next season and upward of $100 million in salary cap space, the Browns have to complete a season headed for unwanted history. Cleveland is three losses from matching the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only teams to go 0-16. The Browns host Baltimore this week before concluding the season with road games at Chicago and Pittsburgh. For some players, the thought of a winless season is unimaginable. “You deﬁnitely don’t walk into the season thinking you are going to go 0-13,” said guard Joel Bitonio. “Unfortunately for us this year, the losses have piled up. It is tough. It really sucks. We are doing everything on our part to try to be better and try to get those wins. It is really unfortunate.” NOTES: Jackson wasn’t pleased that WR Josh Gordon got into a Twitter exchange with Packers CB Damarious Randall a day after the game. The players took turns exchanging insulting messages, with Randall taking things to an extreme when he referenced Gordon’s battle with drug and alcohol addiction. “I want us to do our talking on the ﬁeld with our play,” Jackson said. “That’s where the focus needs to be because that’s what it’s going to take to get us to winning. Talking isn’t going to do anything.” … Jackson didn’t have a problem with Gordon and WR Corey Coleman wearing sunglasses on the sideline after scoring touchdowns. The showboating for a winless team drew some criticism. “Look, Jackson said. “If that means those guys are going to keep scoring touchdowns, I will buy them some RayBan glasses.” The host Lady Raiders (0-5, 0-1) were never closer the rest of the way as AHS hit ﬁve BIDWELL, Ohio — more three-pointers and Visiting Alexander hit 10 three-pointers and led tacked on another ﬁve wire-to-wire on Monday free throws during a 20-5 surge, allowing the night during an 84-26 guests to take a sizable victory over the River 46-15 cushion into the Valley girls basketball team in a Tri-Valley Con- break.

River Valley travels to Meigs on Thursday for another TVC Ohio contest at 6 p.m. RIO GRANDE, Ohio — While its leading scorer and rebounder sat on the bench, reduced to the role of an observer, the University of Rio Grande women’s basketball didn’t miss a beat. Sydney Holden and Chyna Chambers scored 15 points apiece to lead a quartet of double-digit scorers for the RedStorm, who led from start to ﬁnish in a 68-54 triumph over Wilberforce University in the 16th Annual Newt Oliver Coaches’ Classic, Saturday afternoon, at the Newt Oliver Arena. Rio Grande improved to 11-1 with its nine straight win, which came with senior forward Alexis Payne (Deep Water, WV) watching from the bench nursing a leg injury. Wilberforce, which closed out a month-long, nine-game road swing, dropped to 6-8 with the loss. The Bulldogs, who also lost to the RedStorm in the championship game of the Bevo Francis Tournament last month, were without the services of their top two scorers - Brittany Wells (19.6 ppg) and Jamee Denman (14.6 ppg) - as well. Wells is expected back when her team resumes its schedule after a holiday break, while Denman will miss the remainder of the year. Rio Grande clearly had a much easier time surviving the absence of its sidelined standout, outscoring Wilberforce in each of the game’s ﬁrst three quarters and leading from start to ﬁnish. Holden, a sophomore from Wheelersburg, Ohio, added a team-high eight rebounds and three assists to her 15 points in the winning effort. Chambers, a freshman from Columbus, Ohio, established a new career-high with her 15 points and also handed out a game-high four assists. The RedStorm also got 10 points each from junior Jasmine Smith (Canal Winchester, OH) and sophomore Abby Wendel (Portland, IN). Rio stretched a three-point lead after the opening quarter to eight by halftime and then blew things opening by outscoring the Bulldogs, 19-4, in the third period. The lead grew to as many as 28 points, 65-37, following a bucket by junior Jaida Carter (New Philadelphia, OH) with 5:50 left in the game, before Wilberforce made things much more respectable by scoring 17 of the game’s ﬁnal 20 points. Keanna Briscoe had 12 points and ﬁve assists to lead the Bulldogs in a losing cause, while Amali Smith ﬁnished with 11 points and four steals. Alexandra Shealey, WU’s third-leading scorer at 13.0 ppg, hit just one of her 13 ﬁeld goal attempts and was limited to just six points. She did equal Briscoe’s total of ﬁve assists and had a game-high nine rebounds. Rio Grande returns to action on Tuesday night when 13th-ranked Indiana University East visits for a key River States Conference East Division matchup. Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.
